My brother’s colleagues at work found out he started playing World of Warcraft and sent him this video to tease him:
The strangest thing of it all is that he (my brother, not the guy in the video) is a hardcore programmer (it’s only real programming if you have to use pointers) for a hardcore programming [...]

Can’t believe I missed this one. Back in June, SOE released a documentary detailing the history and production behind Everquest, one of the “first generation” of MMORPGs and perhaps the most nostalgic for me, to celebrate it’s 10th anniversary. They showed it at the Fan Faire in Las Vegas and it looks fun and very [...]

I love my iPhone but I’d love it so much more if it could do this…

Danny Choo is one of those guys that I admire so much, I’m actually jealous of them. Native British he now lives and works in Tokyo, speaks fluent Japanese (along with speaking Mandarin, Cantonese and Korean), has had a successful career working for Amazon and Microsoft and now runs his own thriving web company. Top [...]

I’m pretty big into zombies at the moment. I’ve theorised a MMORPG about them, I’ve read graphic novels about them and now I’m watching films about them… with a Nazi twist.
On Saturday night some friends and I watched Dead Snow, a Norwegian film about a group of medical students who decide to stay in a [...]

EVE Online.
I’ve got two confessions to make. One, I love EVE Online. Two, I barely play EVE Online.
I think I’m in love with the idea of EVE Online more than the actual day-to-day gameplay. This isn’t to say that I don’t like the gameplay mechanics, it’s just that they really aren’t as thrilling as the forces [...]

Couple of funny music videos are doing the rounds but which is better? Tell me!

Here’s a little extra (pardon the pun) surprise video too.

But which is the best?!
I get the occasional email from readers and yesterday I received one from someone called Ben telling me to check out a video on YouTube about the World of Warcraft minis game. I’m assuming he was Ben Gonyo, the creator of the movie, but he didn’t tell me his surname so I can’t be sure. [...]

Since I posted an article about the documentary Another Perfect World a couple of weeks ago, I’ve wanted to post a BBC documentary called The Pleasure Of Finding Things Out. It was made in 1981 and is an interview with Richard P. Feynman, an amazing Nobel Prize winning physicist and hugely intelligent and inspirational individual.
After [...]
Catchy title. I wanted to get the attention of those who were unable to view the Another Perfect World documentary I posted about yesterday because they didn’t live in the UK. Good news! I finally found it on YouTube. Enjoy!
Edit: I’ve updated this movie with a 30min preview from YouTube. Unfortunately the full programme has [...]
